Tyler Rides on Client Wins

Tyler is gaining traction from robust growth in new business. The company has been continually enhancing its core software applications and expanding complementary product and service menu to fulfill the changing needs of customers and respond to technological advancements.

Notably, Tyler clinched 288 new software contracts in the last reported quarter. Management mentioned that the company already surpassed the total number of deals inked in 2018 through the first nine months of 2019.

In the third quarter, the company added 150 subscription-based arrangements and converted 20 existing on-premises clients, accounting for nearly $47 million in total contract value.

Tyler has also been pursuing strategic takeovers to widen its product and service portfolio, enter new markets related to local governments, attract clients and expand geographically. Investments and acquisitions are helping it strengthen its competitive edge and exploit new and expanding opportunities.

On the lastearnings call it was reported that the company snapped up 22 new ERP and public safety deals in the third quarter including Socrata's Data-as-a-Service platform. It also struck seven deals with CaseloadPRO, now branded as Tyler Supervision.

We therefore believe that large SaaS contract wins will boost growth in subscription revenues, which will remain a key driver for the company.
